You know those times when you are in the kitchen making nachos, and your dog is staring back at you with this "can I hump your leg" "feed me some of those cheesy morsels" look on his face?
Well now you can!
Nachews are made from all natural rawhide ingredients and are good for your dog’s gums and teeth. They taste great too!
If you were at least 14 years old between the years 1993 and 1997 then you definitely remember Beavis and Butthead. These two high school students loved to watch music videos, hang out at the mall, try to “score with chicks”, and most importantly eat nachos.
Nachos were actually eaten by Beavis and Butthead so much that a t-shirt was made and sold to fans all over. But wait…
You can actually still purchase this t-shirt from Amazon. Enjoy this gem of a find!

Last year, scientists totally pulled a “my bad” and reneged on their previous statement that Pluto is a full-fledged planet. Pluto has now been demoted to a “dwarf planet.” No really…I’m serious. That’s like the astronomical term and everything! With that logic, does that mean dwarf people aren’t full-fledged people? Well…according to scientist, probably so. Discrimination aside, kids across the land must find a new way to learn the order of planets.
Growing up it was: My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas. Obviously, that will no longer work. Fortunately, there’s a new phrase to help us remember the order of the planets.

It’s been 10 days since Cindo de Mayo and I can’t help but reflect on that days events. The day was filled with laughter, beer, friends, and of course, nachos. But what could I have done better? What could have enhanced my overall Cinco de Mayo experience?
The answer rests in the Heated Nacho Tray. Gizmodo.com tempted me to with this powered nacho accessory, yet I still didn’t buy one.
I must have had a momentary lapse of intelligence. What could be better than having beer after beer, all the while knowing the my nacho cheese would be kept at a perfectly delicious temperature?
So check it out, the Heated Nacho Tray is a winner in my book and is a must-have accessory for every nacho lover.
We introduced the nacho loving community to the inventor of the Microwaveable Nacho Box, we interviewed the creator of “Nacho Blasters,” and we’re preparing to have a one-on-one with the man behind the song It’s Nacho Love (That I Need).
But who are we?
Some may have learned a bit about us from the Mercury News article, some may have heard our interview on KGO Radio, others may have even met us at the Alice @ 97.3 Cinco de Mayo Broadcast. Now you can learn a little more about the three guys who created ILoveNachoCheese.com.
So hop on over to our new About Us page and learn more… about… us… or something.
Cinco-de-Mayo is almost upon us. To prepare everyone to get into the mood, we’re posting a link to a funky little Cinco-de-Mayo tune called “That’s Nacho Cheese.” So cut a wedge of lime, pour a shot of Jose Cuervo (that’s the Tequila the song recommends…not us.), lick some salt, and crank your speakers.
Yesterday, thanks to Hooman of Hooman TV fame, we were invited back to the 97.3FM Studio in San Francisco to host another nacho party for the Sarah and No Name Morning Show. While we didn’t get much air time during the visit, it was nice to see the crew again, hang out, eat nachos, and drink beers…at 9 in the morning.
A nice bonus this time, was we were able to meet Justin.tv. Justin lives in San Francisco and has recently started documenting his life by wearing a camera on his head 24/7. Even in the bathroom. Even on a date. But that’s not why we like him or find him interesting. We like Justin because he loves nachos!

After a quick phone interview with Sarah & No Name last Thursday, the three of us were invited into the studio the following morning to do an on-air “private nacho tasting” of our Official Recipe with the morning crew.
That morning we met up and carpooled into the Alice @ 97.3 Station located in beautiful San Francisco. Already excited, on the way up we got even more amped when we heard them discussing our upcoming appearance. At that point, all we could think about was how terrible it would be if they ended up hating the recipe. When we arrived, we were greeted by Hooman and led into the Green Room to set up shop and begin cooking up our heavenly orange-colored gravy.
Below we’ve included two audio clips. The first is a little pre-appearance banter; the second, our on-air interview. Wondering how it all turned out? Well…you’ll have to listen. But to give you a clue, they’ve invited us back for their Cuatro de Mayo broadcast! Oh yeah…one last thing. Christy, the gal that called in with your…ummm…”joke?” Could you email us and explain? We’re all still trying to figure that one out!

Recently a situation arose where I was put in a position to try nacho cheese with vanilla and chocolate ice cream. Some of the friends I was with appeared disgusted at the thought of the mix and others were intrigued to watch me tempt my taste buds with two seemingly opposite flavors.
I used an inexpensive nacho cheese from a local Safeway grocery store. Rather than pour hot nacho cheese all over my ice cream, instead I took a clean spoon and dipped it in the nacho cheese bowl. Then I filled the rest of the spoon with a mix of chocolate and vanilla ice cream.
I ate it.
It did not taste good. It could have been the worst thing I’ve tasted in a while. This mix of nacho cheese with ice cream just does not work. In fact, I drew a blank when I began thinking about other flavors of ice cream that might taste better with nacho cheese than the vanilla and chocolate did.

Inventors are cool. But inventors that invent nacho related inventions are cooler. An email recently hit our inbox with a list of various nacho patents. One particular patent, however, rose to the top as the most practical. Inventor, Kim Y. Edomwonyi, created packaging that enables microwavable nachos to be sold that will evenly distribute cheese sauce and prevent soggy chips. Genious! All we need now is to wait for someone to actually start manufacturing and using this breakthrough in nacho packaging.
Shopping at my local supermarket, I came across a Doritos flavor I’d never seen before — Wild White Nacho. Already having an opinion on pre-packaged “nacho cheese flavored” chips, the correct choice would’ve been to walk away. Instead, I was compelled to try this wild new flavor and report my findings to the NCLC (Nacho Cheese Loving Community).
For starters, I think I liked these chips better when they were called “ranch.” And as for being “wild,” they were anything but. I was expecting a chip that would tickle my tastebuds with some zest, or have a little spicy kick and bite back. But alas, I was left with a relatively boring chip that didn’t have any sort of lasting impression.

I just got home from the last game of the regular season for the San Jose Sharks. And what a game it was! Trailing 2 to 3 against the visiting Canucks, Jonathan Cheechoo scored with only 30 seconds left in the third to force overtime. But before we get to the final outcome, lets reverse time to before the start of the game.
When I arrived, I made my way to the Una Mas! Mexican Grill located in the HP Pavilion. I ordered nachos, a large soda, and then headed to my seats in section 212 before digging into the box of chip and cheese goodness.

This weekend I made a trip to Valley Fair, the local mall. For those of you who are not familiar with this mall, Valley Fair has always had a decent food court. Their offerings include a wide variety of foods from around the world.
Being a steak-and-potatoes kind of guy, I decided to order from the Steak Escape. This turned out to be my best decision of the day.
After ordering my food, I walked down to the pickup area where I was greeted by a nacho machine! I snapped a photo for us to drool on.
Since it’s almost guaranteed that Steak Escape does market research to find out what types of food their customers are interested in, we can conclude one thing: steak eaters love nacho cheese. Now that we know they offer the cheesy nectar, our next task is to find out if Steak Escape will add nacho cheese to any item on the menu.
The Valley Fair food court just gained a bunch points in our book, since it is now a place that can fulfill our nacho cheese fix.
I’m sure we can all agree that nachos, on a personal level, can turn a bad day into a good one. But do nachos have the power to reach more than just the individual? Can nachos bring people together? Richard Tait believes just that. In an article he’s written for ModernMom titled “Minutes to Memories: The Science of Nachos“, Richard shares his experience and explains how nachos have “transform an often stress-filled moment — making dinner — into a family sport.”
First of all. Dude, Richard, seriously… I appreciate the article and everything, but ModernMom? In your defense, I guess the ModernDad Web site pales in comparison.
Aaanywho! Richard confesses that “eight years ago, if you told [him] happiness could be found in a messy mound of nachos, [he] would have smiled politely and looked for the nearest exit. Bliss in a pile of tortilla chips, melted cheese, sour cream, tomatoes and onions? Unlikely.” But now, every Sunday night, Nacho Night, he and his family make nachos, laugh, talk, and connect.
Conclusion: Let’s send some nachos to Iraq.

Red Robin Gourmet Burgers recently held a contest to give kids the opportunity to create their own unique gourmet burgers. More than 16,000 kids, 10 and under, from across the country submitted a burger creation and a 100-word statement describing why their burger deserved to be America’s next gourmet burger.
The nacho loving community was pulling for Caressa Morris from Portland, OR, to rise as champion. Caressa’s Ooey Gooey Nacho Burger was a favorite and a finalist among three others. However, when the dust settled, Adrianna Montgomery’s Spicy Asian Burger beat out the rest and was the grand prize winner of “The Next Gourmet Burger Kids Contest.”

If Barbie was real, what would one of her favorite foods be?
One doll-house accessory manufacturer believes the answer is nachos and we agree 100%! To back up their claim, this company has even designed a miniature nacho cheese set!
To any of you nacho cheese lovers that have children who play with dolls, this is a must have accessory!
By the looks of her waist, Barbie is dying of starvation. Please help Barbie live by feeding her a nice plate of nachos!

Last night I watched the exciting NHL match-up between the home-ice San Jose Sharks against their Pacific Division rivals, The Ducks. And while the final score was a bit disappointing (2-3), there was one thing that made my trip to The Tank all worthwhile — The San Jose Sharks Hotdog.
The SJ Dog is a site to behold and a taste to savor. This is the 8th game I’ve gone to so far this season, and I think I’ve eaten a SJ Dog at six of those eight games. It’s become a game night staple. And by taking a look at the picture I’m sure you can see why. This foot long dog is first covered in all-beef chili, sprinkled with finely chopped white onion, drenched in nacho cheese, and topped with a bit of sour cream for good measure. This hot dog is pure heaven.
The vote is in, and my score is as follows:
Taste: 9/10
Presentation: 4/5
Total: 13/15

For the most part, I eat lunch at the company cafeteria. The food is good, it’s subsidized, and they serve nachos at least once a week. But occasionally my co-worker buddies and I will head off campus to the local sports bar Tasty Subs. They’ve got delicious subs, a good selection of beer on tap (I’ll usually get a Fat Tire) and their nachos are damn tasty as well.
Tasty Subs goes for the minimalist approach when building their nacho, which I appreciate. They start off with a good restaurant quality tortilla chip and pour on a generous portion or your traditional nacho cheese sauce. Then they layer on a handful of freshly cut jalapeno peppers and top it off with a ice-cream sized scoop of guacamole.
The vote is in, and my score is as follows:
Taste: 8/10
Presentation: 2/5
Total: 10/15

Everybody loves nachos. And everyone has their particular preference when it comes to nacho cheese. Some prefer their chips to have hot nacho cheese sauce poured on top, while others prefer to grate cheese directly on their chips and bake their nachos until the cheese has a nice crispy edge. But what about nacho toppings? There are definitely many ways to top nachos. The question was raised yesterday during lunch:
Can there ever be too much topped on a nacho?
The short answer is, “YES.”
But to understand why, there involves some explanation. First of all, let it be known that I lean a bit to the right when it comes to nachos. I like my chips and nacho cheese and that’s about it. If I had to top it with something, I may throw a few jalapeno peppers on there. That’s not to say I haven’t enjoyed nachos with other various toppings. A dollop or guacamole, a spoon full of sour cream, some chopped tomato, ground beef and bean chili, olives…the list goes on.
Honestly, all of those toppings are perfectly acceptable. The problem arises when you combine too many ingredients. At that point it was determined that the nachos will loose their integrity. In the end, it was agreed that two toppings is ideal, three toppings is pushing it, and if you put four or more toppings on your nacho you’re better off just making yourself a taco.

There are few heroes out there that contribute to the nacho community as much as the triple-threat team of Dane Boedigheimer, Mitch Rudolph, and Ken Davis. These three friends came together and produced a one-minute commercial spoof on a breakfast cereal product called “Nacho Blasters.”
The video begins with a man faced with spending another morning eating the same ol’ bowl of “Boring-O’s.” That is, until he’s presented with a cheesy alternative.
Unlike other homemade videos that generally suck and are unwatchable, “Nacho Blasters” has three things going for it:
1. It’s short and leaves you wanting more.
2. It’s primary theme is nacho related.
3. It doesn’t suck and is watchable.
Now make yourself some nachos, sit back, relax, and enjoy our feature presentation…
